David Mazzucchelli pencils/Joe Rubinstein inks; page 14; 1987; image size 10" x 15"From the artist behind Daredevil: Born Again and Batman: Year One comes this wonderful page from Mazzucchelli's fil-in issue of X-Factor. The drawing here is predictably wonderful, with Mazzucchelli's beautifully subtle characterizations and clear storytelling. Mazzucchelli's artwork is amongst the most desirable of his era, partially due to the fact that he sold very little of it, this issue was published after Year One, and with none of that art ever appearing on the market this is likely the last book he drew that has pages available. Pen and ink. Art is in excellent condition. Signed by Mazzucchelli.
Artists Information
Josef "Joe" Rubinstein is a comic book artist and inker, most associated with inking Marvel Comics' The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe and the 1982 four-issue Wolverine miniseries by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller. He is also known to be the one to have given artist Art Adams his first professional work.
David Mazzucchelli gained fame with a memorable run on Daredevil, concluding with Frank Miller's classic storyline 'Born Again'. He would go on to illustrate Miller's Batman: Year One at DC. After that, with a short Angel story in Marvel Fanfare closing out his mainstream career, Mazzucchelli studied printmaking and launched the groundbreaking self-published anthology series Rubber Blanket with his wife Richmond Lewis. Mazzuccelli's work has been sporadic since the turn of the millenium, with his award winning graphic novel Asterious Polyp being his last major work to this point. His influence in comics cannot be understated, a whole generation of artists have studied his work making him one of the most influential artists of the last 40 years.
